مصباح جداري خارجي ثنائي الشعاع للشرفة، ألمنيوم، IP65

A sealed wall light rated for weather, casting a narrow beam up and down the surface it is fixed to. Indoors or out, it does the same thing: it makes the wall part of the lighting instead of just the thing the fitting is screwed to.

That is what you notice first. Rather than a lit lamp you look at, you get defined blades of light travelling across brick, render or plaster, and a shape that reads in the surface itself. Beside a front door it gives an arrival something to be seen by. On a garden wall or along a patio it draws the boundary of the space after dark so the outside still has depth once the sun has gone. Inside, in a hallway or beside a bed, the same trick adds atmosphere without adding clutter. The glow is warm and welcoming, and the fitting itself keeps a discreet, minimal presence, which is exactly why it works as happily in a stripped-back modern house as it does at a hotel entrance, a villa, or a courtyard.

The body is aluminium, finished in black, with clean lines and nothing decorative bolted on. The exterior is built to stay outside: waterproof and rust-proof, sealed to IP65 in the waterproof build, so years of rain and salt air leave it as it was on day one. Choose the not waterproof build where the fitting will live indoors and the seal is not needed. Each unit weighs only 0.5 kg (1 lb), so the footprint on a wall is genuinely small for the effect it returns, and the LED behind it is integrated and rated for 50,000 hours of service.

Two configurations, and they behave quite differently. The two-head version measures 6 cm (2.4″) long by 4 cm (1.6″) wide by 12 cm (4.7″) high and draws 6 W for 660 lm, throwing a single restrained blade up and another down: quiet, vertical, architectural. The four-head version is the wider bar, 15.5 cm (6.1″) long by 4 cm (1.6″) high, drawing 12 W for 1320 lm and opening into a broader, multi-directional pattern with far more expression to it. Colour is your choice as well, and it goes beyond the usual three: warm white at 3000K, neutral white at 4000K and cool white at 6000K for everyday light, or yellow, red, blue, green and purple when a facade, a terrace or a party calls for something else entirely.

It takes AC 90-260 V and mounts to the wall. Certification covers UL, CCC, CE, CQC, EMC, FCC, GS, LVD, PSE, RoHS, SAA and VDE. For a dimmable version, write to info@clerachic.com. Installation is short work: screw the included bracket to the wall, join the leads to your mains feed with the power off and proper care taken, then restore the supply and check the beams land where you want them.

Every wall light in this collection mounts to the wall with the hardware included in the box. The steps below cover all three power types we supply - hardwired, plug-in and rechargeable - so read the first section, work out which one you have, then follow the matching path.

Before you start

• Power type: your light is hardwired, plug-in or rechargeable. The Product Specifications above say which. It changes the whole installation, so check before you open anything.
• Mounting: all wall lights fix to a flat wall surface. Screws, anchors and the mounting bracket are supplied.
• Dimming: lights with a standard replaceable bulb can usually be dimmed. Integrated LED models generally cannot. The specification above states which your model is.
• Indoors or out: only fit a light outside if its IP rating says it is suitable. An indoor-rated fitting will fail quickly in the weather and is unsafe in the wet.
• Wall type: plasterboard, brick and tile each need their own anchor. The supplied screws suit standard plasterboard; buy the right fixing for anything else.

Tools you may need

• Screwdriver
• Voltage tester
• Wire nuts or terminal connectors (supplied with hardwired models)
• Drill and a bit suited to your wall, if you are making a new fixing point
• Spirit level and pencil

If your light is hardwired

Turn the lighting circuit off at your consumer unit or breaker panel. Do not rely on the wall switch. Test the wires at the outlet box with a voltage tester and confirm they are dead before you touch them.

If you are replacing an existing light, unscrew it and disconnect the wires by undoing the connectors. Support the fitting as you free it so it does not hang on its wiring.

Hold the new bracket against the outlet box or your marked position and check it with a level. Fix it with the supplied screws, tightening evenly so the bracket sits flat against the wall.

• Live to live: black, brown, or the terminal marked L
• Neutral to neutral: white, blue, or the terminal marked N
• Earth to earth: green, green-and-yellow, or bare, to the earth terminal or screw

Twist each pair together and secure it with a connector. Tuck the wiring back into the box so nothing is pinched when the fitting closes onto the bracket.

Line the body up with the bracket and secure it with the screws provided. It should sit flush to the wall with no gap and no movement.

If your light takes a replaceable bulb, fit the type and wattage given in the Product Specifications above. Do not exceed the wattage printed on the socket.

Switch the circuit back on and test the light. If it does not come on, isolate the power again before you re-open anything.

If your light is plug-in

Fix the bracket to the wall with the screws and anchors supplied, checking it with a level. Attach the body to the bracket, then run the cable to the nearest socket. Clip or tuck the cable so it is not a trip hazard and is not pulled taut where it leaves the fitting.

If your light is rechargeable

Fix the bracket to the wall, then charge the light fully with the supplied cable before its first use - a first charge from flat takes longer than later ones. Seat the light on its bracket and switch it on. Most models lift off the bracket for recharging without tools.

Important tips

• Follow the wiring rules that apply where you live. If any part of this is unfamiliar, have a qualified electrician do it - it is a short job for them.
• Check the outlet box is sound and can carry the weight of the fitting before you mount it.
• Dust the fitting occasionally with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners on a painted or plated finish.
• Let a bulb cool before you handle it, and never fit a bulb above the rated wattage.
